KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 610 runners a season, winning with 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.99). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 15% (107 runs).

The read

It is weakest at York (1.5% over 68 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 15% (n=107, Fair A/E 1.53), but debutants struggle at 5.7% (n=106, Fair A/E 1.00). New recruits from other stables on their first run are the standout value angle: 10.5% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.36 and +8.62 to a £1 stake over 105 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Andrew Mullen rides 39% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (9.4%, A/E 1.01) — the market has that partnership priced right. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (18%, n=255). The record reads poorly in Class 2 — 2.6% over 151 runners, 7.8pts below the baseline. 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Betfred Ebor Handicap at York (Aug 2017, £177,413). The stable star of the record: The Gay Blade (GB) — 12 wins from 74 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Oct–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.4% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Headgear figures use the true-first definition (first gear appearance in the captured career); returns are gear back on after a bare run. Claiming riders are runs where the booked rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 260 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 16 times. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. Runs, wins and places only: a strike rate or a return on a handful of runs is noise, so none is quoted per horse — each horse's full record is on its own page.
Where they came from · where they went next

Of the 60 horses listed, 36 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from C P Donoghue (3) and Alice Haynes (2); 24 had their first archived run for this yard.

12 have since run for another yard; 48 have no later run for another yard in our archive.

Read from each listed horse's whole archived career (2005 onwards), not only this window, and counted over the horses listed above, not the whole string. “First archived run” means our archive holds nothing earlier, not that the horse was unraced. A horse with no later run elsewhere may still be here, be off the track, or have run somewhere our archive does not cover — none of that is asserted.

Quick answers

What is Iain Jardine's strike rate?
Iain Jardine has won 316 of 3,045 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 10.4% (as at 24 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Iain Jardine do best at?
Perth by strike rate: 11 wins from 75 runners (14.7%) since 2022. Read from the 15 courses with the most runners on the same basis, and only those with at least 30 — a small sample cannot top the list, and a rarely-visited course is not in the comparison.
Who rides most for Iain Jardine?
Andrew Mullen, with 1,195 runners since 2022 — 39% of the total. That pairing has won 112 (9.4%).
Is Iain Jardine in form?
In the last 14 days: 26 runners, 3 winners, a strike rate of 11.5%. That is in line with the baseline of 10.4% since 2022.
What is Iain Jardine's Fair A/E?
0.99, from 3,034 runners with a computed fair probability since 2022. Fair A/E compares actual wins with a margin-stripped market expectation, so 1.00 is par: above it the wins came at bigger prices than the margin-free market implied, below it they did not.
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%". Three sample sizes are reported and never blended: runs (n), the ROI basis (n at SP), and the fair-A/E basis (n with a computed fair probability).

Strike rate is wins over all runs (n). ROI is £1 level stakes at SP over runs with a parseable price (n at SP). Fair A/E is wins over margin-stripped market expectation, over runs with a computed fair probability (n fair). The three Ns can legitimately differ and are always shown. Figures as at 24 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
